This typeface pairs tall, tightly proportioned letterforms with sharply faceted strokes and a consistent forward slant. Stems and diagonals feel chiseled, with angular joints, pointed terminals, and subtly irregular edges that read as hand-drawn rather than mechanically precise. An internal inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a hollowed, dimensional look while keeping the overall color relatively open for a decorative face. Capitals are narrow and vertical, while lowercase forms maintain a compact, upright structure with occasional gothic cues and varied widths across characters.
Best suited to display settings where the inline carving and faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, titles, labels, and branding marks with a medieval or dark-fantasy flavor. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, while smaller text may lose some of the interior detailing.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, evoking blackletter signage and carved stone or woodcut lettering. The inline detailing and jagged facets add a gritty, crafted energy that feels historical and slightly ominous, but still legible enough for short statements.
The design appears intended to reinterpret blackletter-inspired forms through a carved, inline treatment, balancing a historical voice with a graphic, dimensional effect. Its narrow stance and consistent slant support energetic headline composition while the hand-hewn edges preserve an artisanal feel.
The rhythm is driven by repeated verticals and crisp angles, with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric bowls and joins that add personality. The numerals follow the same faceted construction and slanted stance, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
